Well… you find some interesting stuff out there. Bonnaroo has become legendary for bringing interesting talent from all over. This year seems to be no exception to the rule as Rudimental have been announced on the lineup.
To be honest, I was non-plussed when I couldn’t find a bio on their website and the detailed but dry wiki article was the most informative thing I saw. But that changed when I started listening and watching the videos. I reckon I’ll be there for this one, these cats RoKK!
“Rudimental are an English electronic music quartet who are signed to Asylum Records and independent label Black Butter. The quartet consists of songwriters and producersPiers Agget, Kesi Dryden, Amir Amor (Amir Izadkhah) and DJ Locksmith (Leon Rolle).
The group rose to prominence in 2012 when their single “Feel the Love”, featuring singer John Newman, topped the UK Singles Chart,[1] and for which they were also nominated for a BRIT Award in 2013.
The group have released further singles, including “Not Giving In” (featuring Newman and Alex Clare) and 2013 single “Waiting All Night” (featuring Ella Eyre) which also topped the chart in the UK. More recently the group released “Right Here” featuring Foxes, “Free” featuring Emeli Sandé and “Powerless” featuring Becky Hill. Rudimental were named by the BBC as the festival band of the summer.
